Copycat Barbell Protein Bar
6 steps
Prep:15min
My go to protein bar is a quest bar, which I've already recreated to great success. But Vic prefers Barbell, so today I'm making my own version. This protein bar has a sticky, nougat-like protein filling, coated with melted chocolate. We end up with a sugar free protein bar with 200 calories, 20 g of protein, and no junk ingredients you've never heard of, all for a third of the price!

Instructions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, mix together all dry ingredients for the filling - whey, coconut flour, sweetener, cinnamon, and salt





Step 2

Add in the vanilla, and thin out little by little water until you have a sticky dough


Step 3

Line a small container with parchment paper (I'm using a glass meal prep container, which is 6.2 x 4.5"). Evenly press the dough into all sides of the pan. Freeze for 30 minutes to harden
Step 4

In a small bowl, microwave half your chocolate chips and coconut oil for 20 seconds, and stir until smooth. Spread on top of the protein bars, and freeze for anither 30 minutes


Step 5
Flip over, and repeat with the other side, melting the other half of the chocolate on the bottom half
Step 6

Freeze for 30 minutes before slicing into 4 bars. Wrap each in parchment paper, and store in an airtight bag in the fridge or freezer
